Things to Do in Florianopolis

You know what to do: Hit the beach! Florianopolis hotels near Praia dos Ingleses, on the island’s north shore, are at the doorstep of the island’s most popular waterfront real estate. Don’t let the translation (“English Beach”) fool you—it’s a major destination for travellers from all over South America and the world. The eastern, sheltered side has calm waters for swimming, while the western end is the place to be for action sports like surfing and stand-up paddleboarding.

Got enough snaps of yourself on the beach to make your friends jealous for years? Expand your photo album with trips to landmarks like the Hercilio Luz Bridge, the historic Ribeirão da Ilha neighbourhood and Catedral Metropolitana. Need an adrenaline rush? Head to Barra da Lagoa for paragliding or take a hike up to Lagoinha do Leste.

Getting To & Around Florianopolis

Hercílio Luz Airport (FLN) is conveniently located near Florianopolis accommodation near downtown; you can make the 10 km trip by bus for the price of a small coffee or pony up for a taxi ride (in a car, not on horseback). Buses run throughout the island, but they can be unreliable. Once you’re settled in, you’ll probably want one of Wotif’s awesome car hire deals to help you find the best place to claim a slice of sand.

Bust out that teeny bikini (men too!) and get going to Brazil’s favourite beach getaway. Wotif has the deals, and Florianopolis holidays have the sun, sand and waves. The only thing missing is you!
